This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet has been driven 51k miles by its two owners, the first of whom kept it in California, and it was sold on BaT in August 2020. Power is provided by a 3.4-liter M96 flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, and the car was specified in Ocean Blue Metallic over a Savanna Beige full supple leather interior with light burl maple woodgrain trim. Additional appointments include a body-color removable hardtop, a replacement blue convertible soft top, 17″ multi-spoke wheels, Bilstein dampers, a JVC stereo, and an Alpine amplifier. This 996.1 cabriolet is now offered by the selling dealer with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Pennsylvania title.
The car is finished in Ocean Blue Metallic (3AZ) with a body-color removable hardtop and a blue convertible soft top, the latter of which is a replacement unit that was installed in August 2016. Additional exterior items are a deployable rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. Touch-ups were performed under prior ownership, and photographs of paint-meter readings are displayed in the gallery below.
The 17″ multi-spoke wheels feature full-color Porsche-crest center caps and are mounted with Michelin tires that show date codes from 2008 and 2021. The car rides on Bilstein dampers, and braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The power-adjustable front seats are trimmed in Savanna Beige full supple leather, and matching upholstery covers the dashboard and door panels. Light burl maple woodgrain trim adorns the cabin, and the sound system uses a Bluetooth-capable JVC KD-810 stereo and an Alpine amplifier. Other amenities include stainless-steel door sill plates, automatic climate control, and cruise control. Some trim pieces are broken.
The wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel fronts aluminum-dial instrumentation including a 180-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 51k miles.
The 3.4-liter M96 flat-six was factory rated at 296 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle.
